The – terminal is earthed. How does that system work? Won’t the tank’s fluctuating signal, for want of a better word, simply bypass the SC and carry on flickering the needle??<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And, assuming I ever get the wiring sorted out, will the SC get hot? Mine has a metal case and I’ve had to thoroughly insulate it. I have visions of the fuel gauge working nicely until the insulation catches fire………<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Simon<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
